Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

I met Cindy through the local PIHRA chapter after being laid off from Driftwood Dairy. I feverishly sent out my resume letting everyone on the planet know I was searching for new opportunities. Cindy contacted me and shared that she was interested in submitting my resume for the HR Director position with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. I was excited when I met and interviewed with the President/CEO and even more excited when I was offered the role. I have been with the Food Bank for almost 16 years and Cindy was God-sent to help me land the job of a lifetime. Since then, Cindy has helped the Food Bank with other roles and shared great industry expertise. Thank you, Cindy, for all you do, congratulations on 25 years! Keep doing what you do best!

Cindy is by far the best recruiter I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She takes the time to learn about her clients and their previous roles so that she is able to communicate their abilities to hiring managers effectively. She's extremely friendly, thorough in her questions and follows through with her commitments. She also really listens to the needs of her clients which enables her to negotiate salaries and other benefits on their behalf. I hope to never need a recruiter again but if I do I know that I can count on Cindy to help further my career goals. Thank you Cindy!!

I worked with Cindy for several years while at Contessa. Cindy always made an effort to really understand what it was that we were looking for with each position and only provide resumes for qualified candidates. She took the time to personally screen each candidate before referring them to us. Cindy was a great recruiter and partner for all types of positions. I would recommend Cindy if you are looking for an honest, hard working, trustworthy, and caring recruiter
